This book has one of the most gorgeous book covers I have ever seen. Absolutely stunning!

I saw it on the best book covers in 2011 and immediately began lusting after this book. Fortunately, I got it within a week or so of discovering it on the list and immediately devoured it.

I found it simple and sweet; there isn't anything bad about this book, there just also isn't anything great (except the cover). The writing is simple and straight-forward but well paced. As far as quick reads go, it's enjoyable. The plot is thin, but the characters are good. I don't like all the unanswered and unexplored bits at the end; finishing a book with loose ends isn't fun. Fortunately, the characters are good enough that I'm willing to follow them into the next book, whenever that happens.
